"Unhelpful" to whom? Whom is he supposed to help? He was asked a question, he gave his answer. Was the media shopping for good news?
"Stock markets fell on the news" - Who gives a shit? How is this important?
Point to me on this chart where the pain and suffering of shareholders is.
Two years of money raining on them crying over 2 days of the gravy train stopping at a station to refill.
"But muh stock market missed out on two days of 🔼. The SEC should arrest Bancel for his words."
"Implying none of the vaccines will work against the VIRUS" - whaat? Where did he imply that?
He said "this is not going to be good." How is this controversial? Should he have said "the more spike + RBD AA substitutions the better. Bring 'em on." ???
How is this "speculation"?? Antigenic drift is now "speculation"?
Basic immunology is speculation?
Speculation in what sense?
Some epitopes are gone. Some mAbs won't bind or neutralize. What part of this is controversial?
Let's not reinvent immunology for COVID-19 please.
If you are taking three shots of one of the most immunogenic vaccines in the history of vaccinology just to regain high protection against this variant, then that is an admission that there is loss of efficacy of 1 or 2 shot vaccines against this variant.
Changes on the only protein in our vaccines = loss of efficacy.
This is not "speculation" but immunology.
You know what's speculation? The stock market.
If they lost money, fuck them.
Global pandemic & I'm supposed to give a shit about 2 days of red.
See you at zero.
